WAR PRODUCTION

——3 0: :—--
Ottawa, February 13th— In the pro-
ceedings of parliament, recovening

next week war issues will naturally
overshadow everything else. Domestic
affairs however will very likeiy en-
liven pariamentary discussions. Ob-
servers believe that when an opporiun-
ity offers something will be heard of
the Sirois Conference mainly in refar-
ence to its echoes in Provincial capi-
tals. Of more practical interest, since
the Sirois report is shelved for the
time being at least, will be discussions
on the money question. Farming prob-
lems will undoubtedly hold a promin
ent place in debate, There will be an-
nounceinents of government policy on
wheat s seeding time approaches, on
cheese, bacon and other products, par-
ticularly those most directly affected
by war conditions in Europe. The
most important developments in the
general agricultural situation that
have taken place during the recess of
Parliament have been the growing or-
ganization and increased spirit of co-
operation in the agricultural commun
ity with an increased sense ot coilec
tive responsibility both to the country
and to the farmers themselves, and
the recent efforts of provincial govern-
ments to aid the industry. It is felt
here that there is a growing cohesion
in teh industry which increases its
infiuence in the country.

Oiticials of the Finance Department
are engaged in the heavy task of pre-
paring the budget, a monumental und-
ertaking these days when stresses and
strains of taxation on the economic
life of the country must be carefully
weighed. The budget which will be
brought down, it is believed, quite
early in the session, will be’ awaited
with interest and some anxiety. It
has recently pointed out on several
occasions that war expenses have been
running at the rate of approximately
$90,000,000 a month or roughly $1,000,-
000,000 a year. But this is merely a
convenient point of demarcation.
These expenses are bound to go con-
siderably higher during the coming
fiscal year. It is impossible to expect
the ordinary expenses of the govern-
ment to be reduced below about $350,-
000,000 to $375,000,000. The reason for
this is obvious, Non-war ‘expenses will
be out; the defficit of the Canadian
National will be much lower than be-
fore the war, unemployment relief has
declined, but there are certain cores
ofexpense which cannot be altered. A
very important one is the interest on
the public debt. The bonds during the
past few years have almost entirely
been refunded at rates now ruling ip
the money market. This interest am-
ounts to about $130,000,000 a year, So
too the civil senvice carrying on its
work now largely.in connection with
the war, has to be paid, and there are
other ‘essential services. But this does
not mean that parliament will not in-
sist on economies being effected in
certain peacetime items of expense.
In addition to the $350,000,000 for gov-
ernmental expenses there will be ab-
out $300,000,000 for repatriation of
Canadian securities held by British in-
vestors, Against this total of say
$1,600,000,000, there will be the reven-
ues which have reached almost $600,
000,000 from April Ist last to January
81st. But if for the full year revenues
reach say $800,000,000, there will still
be an equivient amount or more that
will have to be provided by borrowing.
About 15 per cent will be raised by
war savings certificates if the objec-
tive of $120,000,000 is reached,

During the week, the members of the
Cabinet have sketched in the details
of Canada’s war program for 1941,
earlier announced in its broad lines by
Prime Minister Mackenzie King on
February 11st. When parliament dis-
cusses the ministerial reports on the
progress ofthe war effort, there are
certain handicaps which must be
borne in mind even though these hand-
icaps do not necessarily imply the ex-
istence of grave faults in the program.
‘These are the difficulties of getting a
general view of war production when
so much is in various stages of devel-

by observers here that it is up to the
Canadian people to avoid complacen-

cy and keep the government on its

toes.

In briefest form the announcements
of the war cabinet show that 25 air
squadrons of Canadians trained in the

joint training plan will be sent to Bri-
tain to join the 3 squadrons now on
active service there. This was arranged
in an agreement signed by Col. Rals-
ton with Sir Archibald Sinclair, Brit-
ish Air Secretary, on January 7th. The
air plan has had a total enrollment of
39,000 men; another 36,000 wi'l be
enlisted during this year, The whole
training pln will be in full working or-
der by September. About 50,000 men
will be gent to join the Canadian corps
in Britain. These will consist of corps
troops, the Third Division, a tank bri-
gade and an armored division. About
$100,000,000 will be spent this year in
equipping these armored units. The
Canadian navy will have 413 ships and
27,000 men by March, 1942. A consid-
erable number of corvettes built in
Canadian yards will help fight the
submarine menace in the spring. Some
are already engaged in the work. In
the production of war materials and
equipment North America will be con-
sidered an industrial unit, Canada con-
centrating on types of war equipment
and weapons not obtainable in the
United States. For the armed forces
and industry Canada will require more
than 300,000 additional men and wo-
men during the year.

SCOTS TEA—

Lured by the attraction of a ‘Scots’
Tea”, a large number wended their
Way to the Sample Room of the King
Edward last Saturday, when the Lad-
ies Aid of United Church arranged a
unique and interesting afternoon.

A large cone direct from Scotland
resting on a piece of silk Tartan made
an interesting centre for each table.
Abundance of oat cakes and cheese,
scones, and jelly, sandwiches, cake
and tea formed the appetizing menu.

Mrs Hunt played Scotch airs through
out the afternoon, thus bringing Auld
Scotia to the sense of sound as well as
taste.

In charge at the
‘Table were Mrs Nelson
White,

Convenor of Tea room arrangements
was Mrs Lounsbury, assisted by a
number of the Ladies.

Servitors were Annie
Frances Jones, Ilene Willson,
Watson, Georgina Koch.

The gratifying sum of $33 was clear-
ed.

McEACHERN OF CALGARY War Savings

ADDRESSES LIONS ON CANCER Campaign

At the Lions meeting last Thursday

hight, the members heard an enthus
iastic pep talk about teh drive for the
sule of Var Savings Stamps and Cert
ificates which is taking place this
month, It was announced that in con-
nection with the campaign being stag:
ed in Strathmore, arrangements had
also Ween made to cover Cheadle and
Namaka, One new member was pres
ent and was welcomed tu the meetings.
Dr. McEachern—

The speaker of the evening was Di
J. S. MeBachern, president of the
Canadian Society for the Control of
Cancer, In his capacity on the board
of the Society, Dr McKeachern spoke
to the members on some cf (he many
various phases of cancer. Ovilining
the many various ways in which small,
individual inventions help to make a
marvellous whole, as in ilve automo-
bile, Dr MeEachern described how it
was due to many small inventions in
the tield of medicine, many of thein
by non medicos or chemists, that we
have any knowledge at all today of
disease, and how to cure it. Only due
to scientific compilation of data, and
the use of it, could any progress be
made.

Concerning cancer, the speaker said
it was a mass of questions. Probably
the first one that was thought of, he
said, was one of heredity. It cannot be
stated definitely, declared Dr McEach-
ern, but in all probability, cancer is
not hereditary. All indications would
lead to the conclusion that it was an
individual disease. Is it contagious?
Here he declared emphatically that it
is not. Countless cases can be cited
where contagion would have produced
another case, and there are no substan-
tiated cases where cancer has_ been
caught from another’s disease. Can
anything be done about it, Very de-
finitely, yes. If left alone, it always
kills, said the doctor, but if discover-
ed in the early stages, and thorough-
ly removed, through surgery, or des.
troyed through treatment, it can be
permanently healed — providing that
it may be removed or destroyed with-
out interfering with or injuring sur-
rounding areas. For instance, cancer
of the brain may not be removed, nor
can it be in the esophagus or the pan-
creas, About half of the cases, however
occur in spots which may treated, In
cases of cancer of the skin, the lip, the
tongue, the stomach, the main diffi-
culty is in getting them early enougi:.

Regarding a cure, Dr McEachern sta-
ted that the disease may be cured with
either electricity, or with radium,
However, it may be cured only when
the growth has gone no further than
its own local spot — that is to say,
when none of the growth has broken
off from the main body, gone coursing
through the blood channels, and fin-
ally lodged at some other point far re-
moved from the original scene. If it
has spread before treatment, opera-
tion can be merely a palliative, only
successful until the successive growths
appear,

it is a very worth-while effort to
have people pay attention to slgns of
cancer very early in their appearance,
and to do sometbing about them.
What are the signs? There are none.
That is to say, said the speaker, that
there are no signs or symptoms defin-
ively those of cancer and nothing eise.
it can mimic any disease, in any or
«un of the body. However, a cancer:
ous eruption is found in local spots
Jniy, nol as a rash over the body. In
itny of the hollow organs, the stomach,
the intestines, the functions are inter-
tered with. in its beginning, cancer is
never painful in any part of the body.
For the most part, cancer hits middle
aged ov older people,

Speaking of cancer as a menace Dr
McKEachern stated that cancer _ kills
12,000 people a year in Canada, As a
primary death dealing agency, cancer,
tro said, stands head and shoulders
above all the other diseases.

The Society for the Control of Can-
cer, he stated, {s a laymamti’s organiz-
ation, There are doctors in it — but
hot very many. It is primarily an or-
ganization of people interested in ed-
ucating the public to go in’ time to
seek aid. They must be shown, he felt,
that it can be treated, and that it can
be cured.

Fully half of the cases, he re-em-
phasized ,occur in places where a per-
manent cure may be had. In the other
half — no. They cannot be cured —
not until we get some dvfinite know-
ledge of its causes, an dfurther, of its
treatment.

A hearty vote of thanks was tender-
ed the Doctor for his most interesting
and informative address.

Scout Notes

An interesting and beneficial meet-
ing of the Group Committee of Scouts
and Cubs, Asst. Scout Leader and
Cub Master together with a few inter-
ested parents and friends, met in Har-
mer’s Hall Friday evening last to dis-

cuss various questions of chief con-
cern to both boys, parents and com-
mittee, There was a frank, free and

friendly discussion resulting in a de-
sire to carry on with increased en-
thusiasm on the part of all, Election
of members for the Group Committee
resulted as follows— President, Geo.
E. Quirin; Sec.-Treas,, 8. H. Crowther;
Executive, Messrs. BE. N. Ridley, Art
Hay, and Mrs G. H. Patrick and Mrs
A. Hay.

The War Savings Stamp Campaign
which has been carried on by tho
Strathmore Lions Club in Strathmore
and vicinity since last June under the
“ble leadership of Lion Leonard Van-
Tighem succeeded in selling over
$1,900 worth of Stamps and Certific-
ates. .

This work will be continued under
the Chairmanship of Lion President
Ned Ridley who will have as his as-
sistants in town Lions John Giffen,
A. D. Shrimpton, Don Wright, assisted
by Lioness Edna Hughes and Gladys
Hirtle,

It is the intention of the Dominion
Government to stress the sale of War
Certificates this year and the present
campaign being carried on this month
i; particularly for this purpose, ‘The
sale of stamps will also, of course, be
continued as well,

In the Cheadle district, the campaign
will be carried on by Sub-chairman Lee
Welsheimer, assisted by Fred Cramer.
In the Namaka district by subchairman
H. Colpoys, assisted by Wm. Fawkes.
Other areas are being organized as
rapidly as possible,

It is earnestly hoped that every ass-
istance will be given to make this cam-
paign 100% successful

It is our duty to lend the govern-
ment every cent we can spare — the
C.P.R., Western Section staff and the
C, P. R, Farm employees have already
signed up 100%.

GOLDEN ROMBER FUND

STRATHMORE C. P. R. LEADS
OVER LARGER CENTERS

The above fund originated in Mon-
treal and taken up ‘enthusiastically by
C, P. R. across Canada, The plan is to
contribute any old gold rings, watches,
chains, dental crowns or plates’ or
what have you to the Fund, these to
be melted and turned in at face value
of gold. This in addition to any cash
donation the contributors wished to
make.

The total sum received to January
22nd last was approximately $27,000
and of this Western lines had given
$18,000, Strathmore’s C, P. R. officials
stand high in the list, excelling in
some cases that of larger centers.

Congratulations, carry on C. P. R.

Hockey

Saturday night, ome of the best
crowds of the year turned out to
watch the Ste. Anne’s - Red Wings
bout, n which the home team ran up
the higher end of a 10-9 score in a see-
Saw scoring match which kept the
fans on their feet throughout most of
the play. Although the score ran to
such large proportions, both the goal-
ies were playing hard and well, in
some instance making remarkably
clever stops. It was more due to ex-
ceptionally good teamwork and clever
stick-handling than to any lack that
the score rose so high. Red Wings
seemed to have made the grade in get-
ting their play organized, and a
bright future looms ahead. There were
few instances of dirty playing in the
game although it was more than usual-
ly rough, most of the players seeming
to look for a bump instead of trying
to avoid it. It at least gave the crowd
a few thrills,

Mustangs — Red Wings

Playing Calgary Mustangs on ‘lues-

Poland Under The Gestapo—

Life in Poland, in the second winter
of occupation, is of increasing sever-
ity. There is little to eat. The only
foodstuffs in shops are bread, potatoes,
linseed oil for cooking. There is nei-
ther butter nor margarine. There is
neither fruit nor fish. There is almost
no meat. Yet in spite of all privations
and persecutions, Polish resistance is
growing. Mass executions by the Ges-
tapo fail to terrorise.

SON OF RAMSAY MacDONALD
HIGH COMMISSIONER

TO CANADA

Mr MacDonald is 40. He has been in
the cabinet in various capacities since
1935. For three years he was secret-
ary of state for the Dominions and be-
fore attaining full cabinet rank was
under-secretary for the Dominions tor
tour years.

He has been a member of the house
of commons since 1929 and it is und-
erstood authority will be sought to en-
able him to retain his seat.

Some twenty years ago Mr Mac-
Donald was one of an English Debat-

visited Calgary in their tour, and Mr
MacDonald then a very young man
made a vivid impression by his abil-
ity in debate, and rebuttal.

jaws of the goal, they could not find
the net, even though playing six men
forward towards the latter part of the
game, Strathmore’s play was helped
a good deal by Koch who seemed to
put more spirit in the boys, the old
idea of having someone you can count
on showing itself clearly. Strathmore’s
scores were made by Koch (5), Mor-
gan, Kimmett (2) Crellin. There were
very few penalties, and a_ decidedly
clean game. Since the weight was
much more evenly divided than it us-
ually is, this factor probably had much
to do with the clean play. Strathmore
fans were quick to notice that the
boys took advantage of their team
mates in going down the ice far more
than they have been wont to do, and
look forward to an even greater dis-
Play of team play before they get to
the playdowns,

The Dominion Government will soon
be considering its wheat policy for
this coming crop. What should the
Government do? My own personal op-
inion is that the Government should
purchase the entire wheat crop what-
ever size it might be.

There will be a sale in Canada and
abroad for about 240 million bushels,
requiring a crop of 300 million, so tha
cost to the Government will only be
for the excess, if any, over 300 mil-
lion bushels,

Should there be an excess it would,
of course, add to the sise of the pre-
sent surplus, but my own belief is that
this would be a great blessing, for it is
far better to have an abundance, even
a super-abundance of wheat in War-
time, than to run the risk of a scar-
city, for no one can foresee the future.

ORNAMENTAL HEDGES

Dominion Experimental Station

One of the most effective types of
tree planting is the hedge. It has a
beauty of line all its own which can
be modified as desired by trimming

» fit in with the surrounding jand-
scape. The most common gervice of a
nedge is to act as a boundary to pro-
perty and to set it off in the same way
that the frame on a picture adds to
the effectiveness of the picture itself.
One thing that has to be guarded ag-
ainst in choosing a proper site, is
that the cart does not come before the
horse, or in other words, that the
hedge does not become the centre of
attraction rather than the property as
awhole. To prevent this from happen-
ing, the hedge must be properly plac-
ed so as not to obscure other desir-
able features.

Large hedges often add to beauty
by serving as a screen for hiding oth-

When the position and size of hedge

sails on an old broken-down C.P.R.

around so strongly around Macleod
that it would blow me over to my

“What did you do when the wind

visit friends in Lethbridge for the
week, returning to Strathmore. with
Mayor and Mrs Hughes early next
week,

The Standard regrets the decision
of Mr Wm, Crowe. known by his
friends as “Bill”, to withdraw from
Strathmore and return to Calgary to
live. Mr Crowe has carried on the har-
hess and shoe repair of Strathmore
for the past 12 years or so. but owing
to the horse being superseded by thre
tractor, truck and car the harness
business has become almost non-exist-
ant, hence his decision to seek larger
fields. By those who knew him best—
he will be much missed. We wish him
much success,

NOTICE RE TREES

Soil Mining

At the Annual Conference of the
Manitoba Agronomists an interesting
and challenging paper was presented
by M. J. Tinline and H. J. Siemens.
Its title is “Changes and Readjust-
ments in Manitoba Cropping Prac-
tices,” but it has equal significance
for residents of Saskatchewan and
Alberta, The following is an abstract
of the authors’ introductory state-
ments:

In view of the present wheat prob-
lem, this is an opportune time to
encourage seeding down grasses and
legumes,

Manitoba farmers have been grain
mining their soil too long. Older
countries have had to maintain a
high percentage of their land in
grasses and legumes in order to pro-
tect their soils. Manitoba farmers
must follow this same policy or their
soils will be ruined. Serious drifting

over much of the province, sheet
erosion and gullying of the undula-
ting lands are only foretastes of more
severe erosion yet to come.

Here endeth the quotation.

It is an interesting fact that, until
quite recently, lectures and articles
on crop rotations were considered to
be of academic interest only. We be-
lieved that our prairie province soils
were so abundantly fertile that they
would never wear out. Now, we know

better.
Vitamin B,

Much publicity has recently been
afforded vitamin B, as a stimulator
of plant growth. Dr. E. J. Kraus, of
the University of Chicago, in an ad-
dress before a joint meeting of the
American Society of Agronomy and
the Soil Science Society of America,
on December 5, stated that most of
the publicity was “just plain bunk.”
